The east wing of Renshou Temple is located on the right side of the central hall and needs to pass through a quiet corridor.
The appearance of the wing room is simple and elegant, and the wooden doors and windows are carved with exquisite Buddhist patterns, such as lotus, wishful thinking, Dharma wheel, etc., each one is full of profound Buddhist colors.
The first thing that catches the eye in the wing room is a quiet little hall.
There is a simple altar table placed in the center of the chapel. The incense burner on the altar exudes a faint fragrance, making people feel peaceful and tranquil.
Next to the offering table, a pot of Guanyin bamboo is dripping with green, adding a touch of vitality to the whole room.
There are two eye-catching paintings hanging on the left and right walls of the wing. They depict stories from Buddhism, including sacrificing one's life to feed tigers and cutting meat to trade pigeons.
In the corner of the wing room is a wooden Buddha bed. In the niche next to the Buddha bed is a Buddha statue, and incense smoke curls from the copper tripod in front of the Buddha statue.
On the other side of the wing, there is a row of bookshelves with various scriptures and Buddhist classics placed on them.
Next to the bookshelf is a wooden desk, on which are placed the Four Treasures of the Study, and a small lamp quietly illuminates the tabletop.
An old monk closed his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, sitting behind a wooden table.
And a middle-aged man in official uniform stood at the bottom of the picture of "Sacrificing one's life to feed a tiger".
"President Guanghui, I am still surprised that an outsider like you is also greedy for money?"
This middle-aged man in official uniform is Kuang Qi, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
He is about seven feet tall. Although he is middle-aged, his figure is still as tall as a pine tree, and his elegant air makes people respect him easily.
His eyes are as deep as lakes, revealing calmness and wisdom, while the brows reveal determination and perseverance.
The official uniform he was wearing, with auspicious clouds and peacocks embroidered on the chest, was exactly the official robe of a third-rank civil servant.
He left home in such a hurry that he didn't even take off his official uniform.
Seeing that the host Guang Hui behind the desk did not respond at all, Kuang Qi's face finally lost its indifference and he asked in a slightly urgent tone:
"Have my family members really left the imperial capital? Is it true that Jin Yiwei and Dongchang will not catch them?"
However, the host Guanghui still did not answer this question. The latter was like a deceased old monk, motionless, like a lifeless clay sculpture.
"Guanghui hosts!"
Kuang Qi's voice couldn't help but get a little louder.
At this moment, the door of the Zen room opened with a creak from the outside, and a middle-aged monk wearing a green robe walked in.
"Master Kuang, your voice can be heard all the way outside the meditation room. You are really not afraid of being discovered."
The middle-aged monk put down the tray and took out several plates of snacks and a pot of hot water.
Picking up the kettle and pouring a cup of hot water, the middle-aged monk dipped his fingers in the hot water, then walked to the host Guanghui and put the water on the latter's lips.
Feeling the moisture on his lips, Host Guanghui slowly opened his eyes. However, his eyes were not as wise and deep as before, but instead looked lifeless and empty.
When Kuang Qi saw this scene, he couldn't help but exclaimed:
"What's going on with Guang Hui?"
The middle-aged monk fetched a cup of hot tea, with white steam still rising from it, but he handed it to Master Guanghui's lips, and Master Guanghui drank it without hesitation.
Watching host Guang Hui drink the scalding cup of hot tea without hesitation, Kuang Qi couldn't help but swallow.
The middle-aged monk put down his tea cup with a smile, turned around and said to Kuang Qi:
"Host Guanghui is old after all, and sometimes he becomes confused.
Master Qi, please don't disturb Guanghui's retreat here.
You and Donor Xia will wait for two more days. When the Zhengyang Martial Competition is held, the guards in the imperial capital will be loose. At that time, the monk will send you two out of the city.
As for your family, sir, don't worry, they have already been sent out of the city. "
Kuang Qi looked at the smiling face of the middle-aged monk and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable chill in his heart.
He left without saying much.
He has always had some kind of deal with Director Guang Hui, and even the mansion where he lives now was bought by Director Guang Hui.
But all this is just to make friends with the Queen through Guanghui's hosting.
Kuang Qi's official career was very bumpy. He once seemed too hesitant when he was standing in line.
In the end, it ended up being a disgraceful situation.
In order to break this situation, he tried every means and finally found a seemingly feasible way through Guanghui's hosting.
But after going to court today, he found that the house was empty. The host Guanghui sent the middle-aged monk to tell him that the Queen had sent someone to deliver a message, and it seemed that a certain minister was preparing to deal with him.
And found evidence that he was corrupt and perverting the law!
Of course Kuang Qi also committed corruption, but that was all before he became the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
After he became the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, it didn't take long for him to encounter the choice of lining up.
It has been in this position for the past few years.
Because he has lost a lot of connections, he has been unable to commit corruption in the past few years.
However, the letter from the Empress made it very clear that the other party had captured tangible evidence of him.
In order to escape for his life, Kuang Qi didn't think too much at the time.
The middle-aged monk only said that his family had been sent out of the city by Guang Hui earlier.
Then Kuang Qi was brought here and hid.
Also sent over was a woman named Xia.
But the woman looked very flustered.
No matter what Kuang Qi asked her, she kept silent.
Returning to the left wing where he lived, he met no one along the way.
The entire temple suddenly became quiet and a little eerie.
Kuang Qi came to his room and as soon as he closed the door, he felt his shoulder being pinched tightly by a big hand.
Then the next moment he felt like the world was spinning, and a huge force pulled him straight up.
Before he could open his mouth, a big hand covered his mouth, and then he was stuffed into a quilt.
When the big hand was released from his mouth, another ball of linen cloth was shoved into his mouth.
His upper and lower jaws were stretched so hard that it felt like his mouth was about to burst, and he couldn't make any sound at all.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Although there was severe pain in his mouth, Kuang Qi's survival instinct allowed him to still struggle hard.
Liu Xin appeared in front of him, and Kuang Qi was like a wrapped rice dumpling dropped on the ground.
Next door to his room is Xia Jinghua, the president of the Blue Club.
Liu Xin had already confirmed it on the roof.
In this row of wing rooms, the rest of the rooms are empty.
Liu Xin needed to confirm one thing now. Looking at Kuang Qi's shabby appearance, he suddenly felt unsure. Is this guy really someone who can collude with the White Lotus Sect?
He doesn't even look like a third-grade official.
In fact, Liu Xin didn't know that Kuang Qi had just been frightened for a while, and now he was like a frightened quail, not to mention his bearing. Any image would become extremely miserable when encountering this state.
Liu Xin signaled him not to struggle, otherwise he could be easily killed.
It took Kuang Qi some time to accept the reality and gradually calmed down.
Liu Xin was not afraid that he would call someone, so he took out the ball of linen stuffed in his mouth.
Of course Kuang Qi still wanted to risk his life, but just when he wanted to speak, he found that his mouth was numb and he couldn't speak.
Seeing his expression of despair, Liu Xin knew what he wanted to do.
So Liu Xin looked at Kuang Qi with a half-smile and said:
“It seems that Lord Kuang Qi hasn’t realized what happened.
I am Liu Xin, the official of Jinyiwei, and this is my badge! "
Liu Xin directly took out his waist badge and waved it in front of Kuang Qi.
When Kuang Qi heard the words "Jin Yiwei", he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and froze directly at the scene. When he saw the token, he immediately realized that it was all true.
"Jin...Jin Yiwei!"
Kuang Qi asked again in disbelief.
Liu Xin made a gesture. Kuang Qi looked at the former in confusion.
The next moment, a huge mace roared towards him, and finally stopped firmly in front of him.
The spike on the mace was only an inch from the tip of his nose.
Kuang Qi was shaking violently, he was frightened.
Liu Xin frowned and looked at Kuang Qi. He once again seriously doubted that this person was a fake, right?
So Liu Xin turned to look at Qin Zhenhui.
"Is this person really Kuang Qi?"
Qin Zhenhui looked at Kuang Qi carefully and nodded.
He had seen Kuang Qi, so he could identify it.
After Liu Xin received the confirmation, he nodded and his eyes fell on Kuang Qi again.
"In that case, Lord Kuang Qi, let's start a formal chat."
At this point, Liu Xin made another gesture, and Tan Zhenhui understood it. He immediately went to the door, opened a thin crack, and looked outside.
Although this wing is adjacent to the wing next door, there is no direct connection between them.
There is also a narrow walkway between the two wing rooms, and there are even two or three large water tanks in it.
Under such circumstances, their communication will not be transmitted over there.
And let’s be honest, they’re here to have a conversation. Even if someone over there heard it, they would just think it was normal.
If we really encountered an abnormal situation, how could we have such an aboveboard communication?
In fact, this is the first step for Liu Xin to liberate his nature.
Fearless and upright.
“Okay, let’s start the formal chat.
First of all, the first question is Master Kuang Qi, how did you come to Renshou Temple? "
Kuang Qi just looked at Liu Xin and was unwilling to say anything.
After all, he has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and Liu Xin is really young, so he feels that he is sure that he can control this young man in the opposite direction.
Unfortunately, when Liu Xin saw that he remained silent, he directly took out an object from his arms.
When Kuang Qi saw this thing, he immediately screamed in surprise.
Liu Xin made a quick decision and struck Kuang Qi on the cheek with his palm.
Kuang Qi only felt numbness in his neck and couldn't say anything he wanted to say.
When Kuang Qi regained some sense, Liu Xin said slowly:
"Do you know where I found this object?"
As he spoke, Liu Xin shook the sachet in his hand.
This sachet has Kuang Qi's name embroidered on it.
Kuang Qi suppressed the excitement and indignation in his heart, lowered his voice and said:
"Have you Jin Yiwei captured them?"
Liu Xin suddenly looked puzzled and asked:
"Why do you think so?"
Kuang Qi no longer dared to play any tricks at this time and could only say truthfully:
"They have escaped from the city today. If it weren't for you Jin Yiwei, who else would have caught them? Where did you get this sachet?"
Liu Xin couldn't help but laugh, and immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
"Who told you that we arrested your family members!
Do you know where this thing was found?
It's inside the pagoda in Renshou Temple. "
"What!" Kuang Qi was shocked and shocked.
He knew the pagoda Liu Xin was talking about.
Kuang Qi couldn't believe it and confirmed again:
"That seven-story pagoda?"
Liu Xin nodded:
"That's right."
Kuang Qi fell into silence when he heard this and lay down weakly. He wanted to digest the news.
All his previous perceptions may be overturned.
At this moment, Monk Taiping slowly walked out from a room at the end of the west wing.
He stretched out and casually looked at the scenery outside.
He muttered:
"Finally got rid of that guy Li Cundao.
Without that guy around, Ergenzi felt a lot cleaner.
Amitabha!
Monks should not talk about others behind their backs!
Sin, sin! "
After reciting the Buddha's name, Monk Taiping slowly walked out of the wing.
He listened carefully, but there was no movement.
At this time, the young monks were almost asleep, which happened to be the time for activities.
This time he came out to practice.
In addition to experiencing the mortal world, there is also another task, which is to visit all the temples in the world on behalf of the master.
Let’s see if these temples comply with the requirements jointly announced by the four major ancient temples.
After all, temples collect incense money from pilgrims. The most important thing in Buddhism is the believers. Of course, we must supervise the temples all over the world for these parents to prevent them from doing evil.
And today, pilgrims all over the world, in order to make their lives better, even invest all the money they originally used for living in offerings to the Buddha, just for the so-called blessing of the Buddha.
This actually goes against the original intention of Buddha.
Therefore, the four major ancient temples jointly issued eight rules.
No Buddhist temple is allowed to carry out the corresponding eight major activities.
For example, raising donations without purpose, randomly distributing degree discs, etc.
These eight major activities all have clear details.
Monk Taiping came down from the mountain and has paid off three temples in a row in the past few days.
The closer to the imperial capital and the more prosperous the temples are, the more likely they are to have this problem.
The same is true for the current Renshou Temple, and its problems may even be more serious.
He has already committed the most severe and most forbidden prohibition jointly announced by the eight ancient temples.
That is interfering in government affairs!
Yesterday, Monk Taiping also discovered that there seemed to be some unusual behavior in the temple. There were several monks acting strangely, and there were also some light-footed pilgrims in Renshou Temple. At first glance, they were disguised as warriors, and they all gathered in the east wing. .
Among these people, especially the middle-aged monk was the most suspicious.
His dharma name is called "Destroying Demons".
Can a monk take this kind of Buddhist name?
It was so arrogant that even the Buddha did not dare to say that he could save demons.
The inner demon is born and can only be suppressed, not killed!
Moreover, this middle-aged monk obviously has a very strong cultivation level, and even the abbot of this temple respects him very much.
This kind of thing is extremely abnormal!
And today he also found that many people were entering and exiting the seven-story pagoda.
There must be something fishy in the pagoda!
Monk Taiping slowly wandered to the foot of the pagoda.
He looked at the bright moonlight today and sighed:
This is really a good moon that can remove all filth.
After saying that, he walked to the gate at the bottom of the pagoda calmly and calmly.
There was no one guarding him here, so he just walked up to the pagoda slowly, minding his own business.
Little did he know that all these actions of his were caught in the sight of the middle-aged monk.
The middle-aged monk watched Monk Taiping enter the pagoda and couldn't help but murmured:
“You’re seeking your own death, no one else is to blame!”
Monk Taiping slowly climbed to the seventh floor of the pagoda, and then a scene that shocked him appeared in front of him.
I saw more than ten or twenty people lying on the seventh floor of the pagoda.
The first thought in Monk Taiping's mind was to kidnap and extort!
I didn’t expect that a temple could do such a thing.
He became furious instantly.
But he quickly chanted the Buddha's name continuously.
Finally, the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
He couldn't help but think about what if it was the other monks in the temple who hid the abbot.
Especially the middle-aged monk, who was not a kind person at first glance.
Monk Taiping began to rescue the people here.
He penetrated their bodies and found that they were just under the influence of a drug.
So one by one they began to relieve the effects of the drug.
There is a way to overcome hundreds of difficulties in Buddhist exercises, and of course there is a way to save people.
It's just that it will take a long time to save a dozen people here in this way.
Basically it takes about a quarter of an hour per person.
In other words, it would take at least two to three hours to rescue everyone here.
While he was rescuing people on the seventh floor of the pagoda, dozens of people had slowly gathered under the pagoda.
The middle-aged monk came under the pagoda and looked up at the pagoda.
He said calmly:
"ignition."
So dozens of people started moving at the same time.
They piled firewood from the woodshed under the pagoda, then found kerosene and poured it on top.
While they were doing all this, they inevitably made some noise, which was noticed by Tan Zhenhui, who was always paying attention to the outside.
And soon a smell of fire oil gradually spread here, and with the keen senses of their Dacheng realm warriors, they could smell slight changes in the air.
Qin Zhenhui immediately came to Liu Xin's side and said:
"It seemed like they were lighting a fire and they didn't know what they were going to burn."
Liu Xin thought for a while, glanced at Kuang Qi, who was still silent, and simply gave him a blow with his hand knife, causing him to pass out.
"Let's go out and take a look first." Liu Xin said.
However, Tan Zhenhui's weapon, the mace, was too obvious, so Liu Xin decided to go out and take a look first, while Tan Zhenhui stayed in the side room.
Liu Xin carefully left the wing and followed the direction of the sound to a location close to the pagoda.
He hid in the darkness in the corner, his eyes reflecting the distant firelight.
How dare they? He actually set a fire here. What if he attracts the attention of Jin Yiwei or Dongchang?
Did they really think it was dark under the lamp, so they acted unscrupulously?
However, with Liu Xin's super eyesight, he could vaguely see someone looking down on the seventh floor of the pagoda.
Are all those people upstairs awake?
That's impossible. If a person without cultivation level is addicted to that kind of drug, it's enough to keep him hooked for a day or two.
Are there hidden warriors among those people?
But after checking everyone, none of them looked like warriors. A few of them seemed to have undergone some training and were only slightly stronger.
The most critical point is that Liu Xin has checked the attribute panels of these people one by one, and there is nothing special.
At this time, Monk Taiping, who was on the seventh floor of the pagoda, looked solemnly at the blazing fire under the pagoda.
Behind him is an old man. According to him, they are Kuang Qi's family members who were robbed and brought here.
Although Monk Taiping didn't know who Kuang Qi was, Renshou Temple's actions were no different from those of a robber.
Now the pagoda is directly set on fire.
This was not only a blasphemy against the Buddha, but also a cover-up of their crimes. Monk Taiping was completely angry.
When the living Buddha was angry, the country was stained with blood, and with his thunderous will, millions of corpses were laid to rest!
